So why not make a trade and send running back LenDale White to the Chargers for Cromartie? It would give the Titans a proven starter opposite Cortland Finnegan, and they’d be set at the position.

But wait a second. Is that really a fair trade for the Chargers – trading Cromartie, an All-Pro in 2007 and a starter, for White, who was a backup last season and managed just 222 yards?

It doesn’t seem like it. It’s just one of the reasons why the trade won’t happen from San Diego’s end. And here’s why it won’t happen from the Titans’ end: Cromartie has some baggage. Why else would the Chargers want to ship him away? For starters, we know Cromartie has seven children with six different women. He’s been named in at least five paternity suits in the past two years.

Plus, he’s not regarded as a real physical cornerback, which is pretty much a requirement in the Titans’ system.

Those are just a few reasons why this trade won’t happen. That’s plenty enough.
